Hi kiddos! Hope you had a great Halloween! 

I went as your garden variety vampire bat and my husband was a mix of zombie/vampire/rodeo clown!

Halloween Nails @ Asheville Grit

Head on over to Asheville Grit to see how I did three easy Halloween nail art designs on the cheap! These are great ideas to wear to work or with your costume on Friday. Do one nail or all nails if you want to kick it up a notch!

Bat Girl

I hope you guys had a great Halloween!

I went as a bat this year and I loved it. I think I have mentioned before that my mother in law is a very talented costume maker for the local theater here in town so she has ten million (only a slight exaggeration) costumes to choose from for Halloween! Exciting!

DIY: Ghost Nails

These spooky little guys are ready for Halloween!

Candy Corn Nails

This is "hands down" my most favorite nail art to date. I love it! My five year old saw it and said "Candy Corn!" So I knew I was successful :)


 

My Haunted House

I love Halloween so I thought I would take you for a little tour around my house...



 

 

I hope you weren't too scared....muahahahahaha

DIY: Haunted House

I discovered an amazing little DIY over at Dollar Store Crafts where she took an old Christmas village house and turn it into a dark and creepy haunted house. I happened to be at the Goodwill (just happened to be there) on Saturday and sure enough, there were three discarded Christmas village houses that I knew would be perfect for our project. I knew that my son would really like this craft too so I grabbed all three of them. That way he could go wild on his and I could be more crafty with mine. (Control issues!) 

Here was one of the houses pre-dark and stormy:

Work in progress:

And wow was I excited at the final result!!!

A real spooky house to add to the haunting effect of the rest of the house...more on that later!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

October Nails

Not really sure what you can call this one. Wavy, globby, splat...just playing around and came up with this.

Spooky Treats

I adapted a recipe that was on the side of the Nilla Wafers box to fit into a Halloween theme. What is it with me and Nilla Wafer recipes?

These are YUMMY. I got a lot of great feedback from the nibblers.

If you want to try it, there is a link to the recipe at the bottom. The only thing I changed was rolling the "sandwiches" in the sprinkles instead of putting a dab of cool whip on top and then sprinkles on top. But you could do both! The recipe makes a ton - a lot more than what I have pictured here. This was just our little family portion. The others I took to a soup and sammies feast at church. They were a hit!
